Mon, 03 Jun 2013 16:52:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=109961#comment-2881793Disagree. The physical hardware keys are not a buying factor to most consumers. Having them does not make it any more appealing to an new tablet owner or a prior iPad/iPhone owner. I’ve never heard any iPad user go “if that android tablet just had hardware keys I’d buy it.” I know people who own iPads and thought my Nexus 7 was nice as well as are thinking of buying an android tablet like Galaxy Tab 2, and the lack of physical keys was never mentioned as an issue.

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 16:15:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=109961#comment-2881694Yep , forget that madness…I bought a GTab 10.1, no physical buttons, but it could use an update, barely use it anymore except for watching Netflix. I like my Nexus 7 form factor, but wish there was a bit more usable screen.

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 16:05:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=109961#comment-2881679You gotta remember, at the end of the day, Sammy is a consumer electronics corporation. That means their money comes from selling devices to the consumer. With the tablet market quickly struggling free from the stranglehold of Apple, Samsung gives consumers an alternative that still has some of the old comforts they’re used to, like a physical home button. Android geeks like us know better, and we’ve moved beyond physical hardware keys long ago. But the vast majority of consumers need things like that as a means of weening them off of the iTeet.

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:57:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=109961#comment-2881675Personally I wouldn’t spend money on this 8″ tab. Specs aren’t that great, screen still isn’t gull HD. You are better off just getting an N7.

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:51:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=109961#comment-2881668IF Google doesn’t announce a N7 refresh by July or Aug then I may seriously take a look at the 8″ Tab IF Samsung meets the following criteria:

-Available in black in the USA
-32Gb storage version available in USA (never a sure thing with Samsung)
-Performance & battery life is better across the board than the N7

I honestly hate Touchwiz but it seems to annoy me less on tablets than on Smartphones. Otherwise, an 8″ or 7.7″ 1080P Nexus would be ideal. But its worth noting that an 8″ Galaxy Tab is gonna have a good bit more usable screen space than a 7″ or 7.7″ Nexus with its onscreen buttons…

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:17:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=109961#comment-2881648Why does the 8 have better specs? Why not just make them the same with a 10.1 being a bigger tab? 3MP to 5MP camera? 1GB to 1.5GB ram? 149 to 189 PPI?

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:14:00 +0000http://www.droid-life.com/?p=109961#comment-2881645The Touch-wiz UI turns me off. I can’t stand skinned android anymore. Vanilla Android has made leaps and bounds with the Stock UI. I don’t mind added features but quit dramatically changing everything, this is why Android updates take forever to come out. This is just my opinion and Vanilla Android may not be for everybody.
